Ode to a Junk Drawer

In one of Terry Pratchett's books, there is a goddess of Things that Stick in Drawers (Going Postal). She is responsible for junk drawers, you know the one you have where you can't quite get it open without sticking your hand in, and you are very careful about sticking your hand in because you never know what sharp object it will encounter........ I have lived in my house for two years, and in my kitchen I had two cabinets that qualified as junk cabinets. While unpacking, there were things I didn't know what to do with .... and figured I would find a place later...... and it was nice to put the stuff out of sight....... and you know how that out of sight out of mind thing goes....... Later has come and gone, and the cabinets have multiplied their contents of "stuff" that has no place to live. Well, no more. One of the many reasons I love this time of year is I have vacation time to not go on vacation, but to stay home and do the little odds and ends that the rest of the year I procrastinate on. So today, I tackled these kitchen cabinets. So out go the empty light bulb boxes, the half burned candles, and the 6 extension cords. Voila! Empty cabinets.
